Joint Committee On Children, Equality, Disability, Integration And Youth

Ukrainian Crisis: Discussion

Mr. Liam O'Dwyer:

To be fair, what is coming our way is directed by the Minister's Department. They are doing the placements. There are other people coming to us, however, and we are picking up some of the arrangements that might have fallen apart such as the more informal arrangements, and we are stepping in at that stage. Any of the aged-out minors, anybody with medical issues, and anybody with a disability who may need additional supports, are coming our way from the Department.
